Honey locust wood.

I have a piece I'm finishing up out of honey locust wood. I'm trying to find something to use as a backer with a 1/4 inch sticking out around the border. There are significant gaps so the backer would be visible. I need a wood that is going to harmonise with the yellow/orange of the honey locust. Any ideas?

Google complimentary colors of yellow and orange

That would be blue

Here are some pictures of the nearly finished piece. I doing some more sanding and a little shaping of the letters. The second picture shows a piece of scrap with lemon oil on it to give a little bit of an idea of what it will look like finished. The idea of mahogany sounds promising.
